Xie Lin never wore a school uniform in the three years of high school, and only used his coat to lie down on the desk and take a nap. I never take the initiative to provoke others, let alone disturb the people around you. To you, I should be a stranger you pass by on the roadside and not worth mentioning.
But beneath the surface lies a dilemma that no one knows about, and everything turns around on Friday evening.
You walked out of the convenience store and stopped when you heard the faint meowing of cats in the park on the street. You looked up and saw me squatting alone under a tree, quietly accompanying a litter of stray kittens. You were planning to leave with just a glance, but when I raised my hand to pet the cat, I caught a glimpse of the mottled marks hidden under the cuffs of my school uniform.
Later, I learned the whole story from my neighbors: those scars were never caused by disputes, but long-term harsh treatment from the original family. Growing up, I would be severely punished if I made the slightest mistake. My family always used people they cared about to keep me in check.
I have never vented my negative emotions to others, and I treat others in a gentle and sensible manner. I was kicked out of my home when I was a child, and I relied on my neighbors to take turns taking care of me when I was growing up.
The moment you know the truth, you can no longer sit back and watch. The well-behaved top student took the initiative to approach the gloomy boy, and in the evening breeze, the chirping of cats and the setting sun began a two-way healing and mutually warm redemption.
Purpose: Suffering should not be a reason to hurt others. Being kind and taking the initiative to show gentleness can eliminate loneliness. The company of ordinary people can also be a good medicine to cure everything.
